To me, family is like a soft sofa. I can be very fortable on it!”
Wu Hao, 14, boy, Nanjing Foreign Language School: “My family is not rich. When I was a small child, other kids had a lot of good stuff (东西) but I didn’t. I asked my parents why.

Family is like a nest. It’s warm and safe.”
Zhang Xun, 15, boy, Hefei No 45 Middle School: “I’m a naughty boy who doesn’t study very hard. My parents always talk to me about this and they get very angry sometimes.
